Hybrid buses make much more sense at this point. Living in Chicago and riding in them everyday, I can attest they can handle the abuse and harsh winter temperatures.

Uh...it was never being sold. If it was 5 were availabe and the bots bought them all. Can’t wait for them to reappear for 100 each from the resellers.

I want to see these old curmudgeons not die so I can continue to watch a decent car show. Stop trying to get killed! It’s like a mashup of Motorweek on BBC acid (even though it’s on Amazon). 

Balls are out! Window decals are in!

“No early ’90s Honda Accord is worth dying for.”

This happens more than you think. I believe there were at least 20 Mustang GT350's stolen from Flat Rock, never to be found. These tend to be inside jobs that can never solved.

Pretty sure I will be dead before they ban driving. I contend that lawsuits and red tape will kill this fantasy of the futuristic autonomous world. Just wait for a school bus of children die at the hands of a self driving bus. I can see the grandstanding in congress now. 

I am skeptical! What happens when someone dies in accident in the autonomous cars? I can already see the line of attorneys for litigation. This will be the true test of autonomous cars.

How many times have you replaced or rebuilt that 2.3.

It takes an additional half liter to add 5 horsepower and 35lbs of torque of Ford’s older ecoboost 2.0. Even Ford’s 2.3 matches matches torque and adds 30 horsepower. Nice try though Mazda. I’ll go with ecoboost reliability thanks!

Only to be let down once again...this time by Sondors

Still have a thirst for running over people?

It’s getting to the point that we almost certainly know the fate of Tesla. It’s becoming crystal clear that they won’t be able to mass produce a car that is affordable, built well, and make a profit. Bankruptcy or being acquired for pennies on the dollar sounds more like a 95% certainty.

No, you are wrong! It is written down as there is a real process for this. I am pretty sure GM, Honda and Toyota don’t just wing this process. Does it change with technology, yes, but there is a process. Musk was too arrogant to realize that there is a reason why these processes exists. Too busy tryin to disrupt. You…

You think they would have been able survive being a niche automaker? All the money burn that the used for the deploying the electric toys for the rich was on the premise that he could mass produce affordable vehicles for the masses that investors dumped in. It’s going to fail (either bankruptcy or being bought by…

Everybody already knows this. Dyno’s are a tool to help you understand powerband and gains through mods. Get baseline and add mods. See increases and changes in powerband. Use numbers as an estimate, not an absolute.

It’s hard to beat 0% financing that dealerships offer on a new car though.

Because mass producing cars is so easy!

I meant flat plane...doh!

A new corvette is getting a cross plane V8 making more than 550 hp. I am not sure if this is the one or not.
